With the weekend comes KDE developer Nate Graham's usual blog post that highlights all of the interesting KDE development changes for the past week. This week saw more KDE Plasma 6 performance tuning and other interesting feature work and fixes ahead of the Plasma 6.0 beta. Some of this week's highlights include:
- More cursor responsiveness improvements for the Plasma Wayland session.
- "Substantially improved" latency especially for gaming with the KDE Plasma desktop. KDE Plasma Wayland gaming should be much better now with the newest KWin code.
- The default keyboard shortcut for launching the activity switcher has changed from Meta + Tab to Meta + A.
- Plasma and Qt Quick based KDE applications should launch quicker by moving the loading of the mobile text editing toolbar to on demand rather than always.
- The Alt+Tab window switcher is now fully accessible via the Orca screen reader in the Plasma Wayland session.
- The option to automatically turn off the keyboard backlight when on battery power now works.
- Many other bug fixes.
